Month-end account reconciliation is still messy
Excel files
Shared folders
Email follow-ups
Manual reviews
Audit pressure
Supporting balances, evidence, explanations, and approvals often sit across different files and people.
Finance teams spend too much time managing the process instead of reviewing the accounts.
From trial balance to certification
Cointab creates a structured workspace for your trial balance accounts and keeps preparation, review, and certification in one place.
See exactly where every account stands
Each account brings the core reconciliation numbers together:
GL balance
The balance from your trial balance.
Supported balance
The balance supported by your schedules and supporting items.
Difference
The gap between the GL balance and supported balance.
Reconciling items
Items that explain all or part of the difference.
Unexplained difference
The amount that still needs attention.
Know what agrees, what is explained, and what still needs review.
